Oh hey battle eye...

So both of the current dlcs are just ♥♥♥♥...

Get on sale or something if you must but i don't think it's worth it...

I'm starting to regret buying the season pass...

1.0 just released and so far it's god tier.

Perks are amazing with no "+10 damage" crap
There's now lore and a whole ass language
A new boss with weak points known as "Hector", This boss fight is also smooth AF. (but no spoilers you need to experience this)
A whole language that if you choose to you can translate manually
Store for buying and selling "borrowed" treasures

And best of all Chicken

Only issue i have is it's unclear that when buying armour you are supposed to open your inventory to see it's stats before you buy

TLDR

Current most cost effective way to buy Standard WOA is:
Buy Part 1 90% off + upgrade pack 37% off

Current most cost effective way to buy Deluxe WOA is:
Buy Part 1 + upgrade pack + Deluxe Pack

Hitman woa Part 1 does NOT contain hitman 3 access, "Hitman 3" is the launcher buy WOA for the real hitman 3

=======================================================================


since it's apparently IOI's fault some people cant read...

Part one literally says in it's description that you only get access to Hitman 2016 goty content.
The "hitman 3" is literally just the launcher, something pretty obvious by the fact it's not listed as a feature in part one and that both The WOA and Upgrade packs have the hitman 3 locations listed.

Heres a guide for how to buy the different versions
Just want access to hitman 2016's campaign and dlc?
* Buy Part 1

Want WOA Access (Hitman 2016 goty/ Hitman 2 / Hitman 3)?
* Buy Part One AND Upgrade Pack
Grab the FREE demo, then buy the upgrade pack. Doesn't work :(
OR
* Buy WOA

Want The dlcs (7ds,Sniper, Haven/NY ect ect)?
* Get WOA from any of above options, Buy the Deluxe Pack (30%)
OR
* Buy WOA Deluxe Edition

Edit: IOI Did a ♥♥♥♥♥ wucky, Part one is not needed for the full woa since the Upgrade pack includes Hitman 2016 access too, only noticed when it was pointed out to me on the discord, Thanks Thrison :)

Edit 2: I have been tricked, Backstabed and Quite Possibly, Bamboozled. demo + upgrade is confirmed to not work...
I'll keep it in the list but striked and spoilered out for context.

Called me brain damaged. 11/10

is gud.

Basically tldr: Buy on sale or as part of season pass, dlc is easy and short, Also only one (two if include dual pistols) new tool

9 missions spread over two maps That are pretty fun however its a bit too short.
However there are a few issues i have with the dlc.

most of the tools are just reskins, The black powder barrel being the only new tool

the levels are too easy only taking 1-2 attempts, This isn't helped by the fact even god himself is scared of the raw power of the horses which are immortal and are strong enough to literally smash through brick walls.

except the final mission there is almost no reason to use bombs or the guns when almost every building in your way can be burnt down or sledgehammered,

By itself i don't think it's worth the price however if TL addresses the issues here in the future dlcs then it may be worth buying through the season pass but we'll have to wait and see.

Either way can't wait for the next one.

Decided to go back through each arkham game so this is years late.

The only non Rocksteady Arkham game is also the Worst and buggiest Arkham game,
Be prepared to deal with crashing, Falling through the map and clunky ass controls including
* removing moving the map with mouse (A feature in arkham city btw) making precise marker placement impossible
* it being up to a coin flip whether doing a ground takedown or counter actually works or if it will just kill your combo
Edit: Add shock/thermal gloves to this list...

* I swear they also changed countering to not be usable during most attacks that were possible in arkham city.

Then there is the effort actually put into the game, just a few examples are
*A certain building that is blown up during the story literally gets an obvious square hole cut into it and then some random debris slapped on the ground along with a giant invisible wall bigger than it needs to be.
Fun fact The building itself has no collisions so you can just throw a remote Batarang through solid brick walls

* Major inconsistencies between this and the rest of the arkham series such as
-GCPD becoming a train station (It is literally important to city's story)
-The Grapnel gun being used years before it is developed
- Harley and joker meeting at Blackgate instead of Arkham asylum.
I am genuinely curious, Had any of the devs at WB even bothered to at least do a basic google search of the arkham storyline?

Yeah, the fact they still haven't finished the Arcade among many other features (including ones paid for though crowdfunding) years later and then announce that they need more money in the recent news post doesn't sit right with me,


Old review below

I'll probs add to this every now and again.

tldr
By itself its a decent enough game, the game modes are fun enough. Has been in development for 7 whole years though.

however compared to it's predecessor which pixeltail have made clear (except reunion which is broken af) they do not want to come back officially or otherwise, it isn't that good

The actual review
Honestly i am conflicted on whether to recommend this or not because it depends whether you compare this to it's predecessor Gmod tower or not. so i'll mention comparisons to gmt but it won't affect too much of the recommendation.

First for what's done right.
The gamemodes currently in the game all existed in some form during gmod tower and i'll admit how they were handled has been done pretty well with changes to make it stand out such as Zombie massacre now having an upgrades system or the new maps

Added new features such as smaller minigames in the lobby such as bowling and laser tag or even more condo customisation (different maps and being able to change wall texture along with more precise item placement through condo tools)

The award system gmt had is improved not only by adding more rewards and achievements/challenges but changing how rewards are handed out, in gmt rewards (mostly trophies) were directly tied to specific challenges however the rewards and challenges are now separated by an xp system so now you just have to play and challenges now just give a units reward.

Now for what went wrong with tower unite

The social aspect gmt was known for is just gone due to a combination of most gamemodes being singleplayer now and the fact there are too many lobbies that spread out the players means its rarer to find other players which is concerning considering the game is advertised as a community-based virtual world.

due to the main parts of the game being minigames and condos being on the main menu and there currently being no downside to using Tower express which also makes stores useless means the lobby has barely any use except seasonal events, the casino and the arcade.

SEVEN years in development and still is missing gamemodes and features gmod tower had such as SDNL/PVP mode duels or even trading, Updates are also pretty slow with gaps in "weekly" dev logs pretty common

More of a nitpick but Pixeltail is obsessed with currencies there are four non event currencies
Units: money used to buy stuff.
Tickets: Arcade rewards used to buy stuff (why not have the arcade reward units like gmt)
Game tokens:play the arcade limit of 250 (same issue as above just let us put units in the machines)
Sea dollars: buy ocean themed pets (forces players to fish since thats the only way to obtain)
